Chicken & Rice Pilaf

Rice: Staple of Gluten Free homes! At least at the beginning. I've tried to cut back on the amount of rice we eat and go for other better for you grains (Quinoa, anyone?), but sometimes the comfort of rice is welcome. This rice is just plain comfort food.

Chicken & Rice Pilaf

Ingredients:

Chicken breasts, pounded flat (depending on size of breasts and how many you are feeding, 2-4
Olive Oil
Seasoned Salt

2 TBSP butter
1/3 chopped onion
1/3 chopped celery
1 cup uncooked rice
2 cups chicken broth (I like using bouillon and water for my broth)
1/4 tsp salt (use only if your broth isn't salty. My bouillon is plenty salty)
chopped parsley

Melt butter over medium heat and cook onion and celery until tender. Add rice and cook about 5 minutes stirring frequently. Add broth and salt (if using), and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer 20 minutes.

While rice is steaming, heat olive oil in pan. Sprinkle chicken with seasoned salt (just a light dusting). Cook chicken about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through.

Stir rice and transfer to a casserole dish. Slice chicken into strips and lay on top of rice. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
